How is it possible to place XL breast implants under the muscle?

CurvyAndTrans
I've been researching if is possible to have implants 1000cc and over placed submuscular as these are huge implants, and I have found some women who have accomplished this. However, as muscle isn't as elastic as skin, I imagine, how is it possible to place something so large under the muscles? I want XL breast augmentation so the added support will be beneficial. With that said, wouldn't submuscular surgery limit my size options?
